There is so much going on in theatre all over the Acadiana and nowhere to find a convenient listing of it all. The purpose of this blog is to try to remedy that. We will attempt to keep listings of shows, events and auditions from all the theatres in the area. If we are missing your company or production, please let us know. Some of the area theatres have websites. Links to those are provided. Some companies do not have web pages, so we will provide names and addresses to those. If we forget someone, let us know. Ticket prices, information and details for shows listed are always subject to last minute change, and can be obtained by visiting the websites of the venue or producer or by phone. Listing on the blog does not constitute an endorsement of the content of any production, nor does the inclusion of a review constitute an agreement with the contents or the conclusion of the review.
